Features & Benefits
You will quickly learn that making the adjustments from a standing position is quick, accurate and very easy to do. You will no longer get (as) soaked by the adjacent sprinklers Adjusting sprinklers is time and money to the contractor! First we eliminated the nozzle tree to save time in selecting and installing nozzles. Now the MP Matchstick makes the MP Rotator the fastest and easiest sprinkler on the market to adjust for arc and radius.Install the MP Rotator with the Left Edge Indicator pointing to left side of the desired watering area.

Product Details
Radius Adjustment
Factory setting is for full radius, and the radius can be reduced by 25%. With the MP Rotator tool (MPTOOL) or a small flat bladed screwdriver, rotate the RADIUS ADJUSTMENT SCREW:
- Clockwise (4 full turns) to decrease the radius
- Counter-clockwise (4 full turns) to increase the radius
Note: Radius reduction is intentionally limited by a slip clutch mechanism to ensure reliable rotation. To prevent damage during adjustment, the MP Rotator does not completely shut off like a spray nozzle. To achieve maximum radius reduction with any MP Rotator model use a 30 PSI (2 BAR) regulating spray body.
Arc Adjustment
- Install the MP Rotator with the LEFT EDGE INDICATOR (flat side of nozzle) pointing to the left side of the desired watering pattern. The Hunter Pro-Spray two piece ratcheting riser will allow you to align the riser by twisting in either direction after MP Rotator is tightened.
- With the MP Rotator operating and in the pop-up position, rotate the ARC ADJUSTMENT RING. Turning the ARC ADJUSTMENT RING clockwise will increase the arc, counter clockwise will decrease the arc.
Note: Adjustment can be done with the MP Rotator Tool (MPTOOL)
Important! To achieve optimal results, replace all sprinklers on a zone with MP Rotators and adjust the run time accordingly. The precipitation rate of the MP Rotator is much lower than sprays and operating times will be similar to stream rotor zones.
